Chapter Eight hundred and seventy-three, if you have money in your pocket, your waist will be hard
Old Li Tou felt that as an emperor, even if he was not the poorest, he could still be ranked high.
Such a large private treasury only has tens of thousands of coins.
Not even a corner of the private treasury can be filled.
With so much money in front of him, he had to fill up his private treasury, but he couldn't let it remain empty again.
But the emperor also knew that once the money was in Zhao Chen's hands, he would not be able to snatch it away so easily.
So, I have to think of a better way.
Li Ruoshuang had a look of surprise on her face. Zhao Chen just finished saying that the emperor would come over. As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor actually came over.
"Your Majesty! Auntie!" Li Ruoshuang and the Emperor and Queen Fu Li.
"Ruoshuang is polite, you wish you could learn more from this!" The emperor and Li Ruoshuang nodded, then looked at Zhao Chen.
However, he found that Zhao Chen didn't even look at him and took the supplements that Queen Changsun brought to Li Ruoshuang.
"Auntie, you are too polite. Come just as you come. You don't need to bring anything. You can learn from some people and come empty-handed every time."
"It's okay to be empty-handed. You still want to get something from me and take it back."
"Do you think this person is shameless?" Zhao Chen took the gift from Empress Changsun and started to criticize her.
The emperor naturally knew that Zhao Chen was talking about himself.
But he is no longer the cute guy who got furious after Zhao Chen said a few words.
Today, even if Zhao Chen breaks the rules, he still has to get some money back.
Otherwise, would Zhao Chen have been given the advantage in vain?
Queen Changsun would naturally not pay attention to Zhao Chen.
You can't follow Zhao Chen's wishes and say that the emperor is shameless.
Although the emperor did things with Zhao Chen, he was often shameless.
For example, stealing fruits from the vegetable patch in someone's backyard, or stealing ham from someone's kitchen.
But Qian Guiqian, others can't say it.
"Hey, Old Li Tou, do you think such a person is shameless?" Seeing that Queen Changsun ignored him, Zhao Chen asked the emperor himself again.
Today, Zhao Chen planned to make Old Li Tou very angry, so that when Old Li Tou was angry, he would not think about asking for the money from him.
But, Zhao Chen found that Old Li Tou didn't seem to hear his taunting him.
This pair of eyes fell on the mountain of copper coins in front of him.
Good guy, how poor is this?
Zhao Chen thought to himself.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the emperor looking at him with a smile: "Zhao Chen, let me discuss with you. I will take half of the 300,000 yuan here. What do you think?"
Of course Zhao Chen felt that it was not good.
Now this money is his own, and he said he would take half of it away, but it was a credit to the emperor for daring to say so.
"Your Majesty, I earned this money by helping you solve the problem of the insufficient power of the crossbow on your bed."
"Moreover, when I went to get the money today, Chen Guogong's men even pulled out their weapons."
"Don't mention how dangerous it was at that time. It would be a bit unethical for you to share the money at this time."
"Who will dare to do anything for you after this?" Zhao Chen said to the emperor, just to make the emperor give up the idea of robbing his money.
Half, that's 150,000 yuan, which is not a small sum of money.
At first, Zhao Chen only thought that the emperor would ask for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan from him.
Then he naturally waved his hand and regarded it as a favor to the emperor.
But now.
The old Li-headed lion opens his mouth wide, and only half of his mouth is open.
Zhao Chen didn't want to give it.
The emperor selectively ignored Zhao Chen's words. He was now filled with the mountains of copper coins in front of him.
The emperor was already imagining his plans after getting so much money.
I'm a little tired of eating two dishes and one soup every meal, so I have to improve my food.
Just five dishes and one soup, it’s not too much.
Well, the New Year is coming soon, and I almost didn’t have the money to prepare last year’s red envelope, so I had to ask the queen to sell her own jewelry to get the money.
Be generous this year.
All members of the royal family, no matter how big or small, receive a red envelope worth one hundred guan.
Hehe, if we have money in our pockets, we will have a strong waist.
The emperor thought happily in his heart, completely unaware of the faces of everyone looking at him.
"This guy is crazy about money!" Zhao Chen and Queen Changsun muttered in a low voice.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Queen Changsun's face, and she slapped Zhao Chen on the head with her left hand: "That kid is talking nonsense."
Wu Jue looked at the emperor with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
She had always thought that emperors were aloof and important people who regarded money as dirt.
But looking at it today, it's not like that.
His Majesty the Emperor's desire for money is much stronger than that of a little girl like her who loves to eat and buy.
There is no mystery at all.
When seeing money, it's better to be as calm as Zhao Chenlai.
Xiao Li Zhi's hand was still stuffing money into his arms. The emperor was very satisfied with Xiao Li Zhi's actions.
If you love money and save money, you have to start from a young age.
Otherwise, I will be like him in the future, struggling with money.
Even be despised.
"Zhao Chen, I have decided to take half of your money. When you come back from your tour in the south of the Yangtze River, I will make you the Duke of the country!" The emperor put his hands behind his back and made arrangements for him directly, regardless of Zhao Chen's opinion.
Li Ruoshuang was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. Seeing that Zhao Chen didn't move at all, she quickly grabbed Zhao Chen and thanked the emperor.
Zhao Chen was unhappy. He was obviously robbed of his money, so why should he thank this person?
Isn’t it already justified?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to take that much money!" Zhao Chen said to the emperor.
Lao Li was stunned for a moment, his face darkened, and he was a little unhappy.
He himself promised to make him the Duke of the country when he returns from his tour in the south of the Yangtze River.
Hey, the current Duke of the Tang Dynasty, none of them crawled out of the dead.
When Zhao Chen was only seventeen years old, he was named the Duke of the country. This was something that many people could not envy.
Not to mention 150,000 guan, even 1.5 million guan, there are people who are willing to change the position of the Duke of the country.
This clearly shows that Zhao Chen is being advantaged.
He's not happy yet?
Lao Litou felt like he had a hot face but a cold butt.
I feel bad in my heart.
"Zhao Chen, how can you talk to His Majesty like this? The position of Duke is something that many people would not envy."
"Your Majesty said that he wants you to exchange money, but in fact he just wants to give you a promotion. You still talk like this?" Empress Changsun complained a little bit about Zhao Chen.
Although she also knew that the emperor was a little obsessed with money, at the end of the day, she also wanted to promote Zhao Chen.
Duke, that is a first-class title.
Only how many people in the entire Tang Dynasty were dukes.
Duke, apart from the royal family, is the highest title that ordinary people can achieve.
There is a law in the Tang Dynasty that no royal family without the surname Li can be crowned king.
Putting aside Zhao Chen's identity that has never been revealed, the Duke of Guo is the pinnacle of his life.
Why don't you want it anymore?
Li Ruoshuang didn't say anything. Zhao Chen naturally had his own reasons for not agreeing.
Li Ruoshuang was just worried that Zhao Chen would offend the emperor.
After all, it seems that the emperor is already a little unhappy.
"Aunt, it's like this. The academy spent a lot of money on studying the Eight Ox Crossbow."
"This money is needed to make up for those shortfalls."
"So, Your Majesty cannot take so much money."
"If His Majesty is short of money, I have a way to help him get more." Zhao Chen looked at the displeased emperor and said with a smile.??
